Vibe Taco brings updated menu, theme to a Tex-Mex restaurant near TCU in Fort Worth

Vibe Taco, a successful food truck serving contemporary tacos and sandwiches, will open as a restaurant in January near Texas Christian University.

Vibe Taco will replace the current concept at Los Vaqueros University, 3201 S. University Drive, with the new restaurant offering both Vibe Taco menu items and some dishes from Los Vaqueros.

Los Vaqueros continues at two larger locations, 2629 N. Main St., Fort Worth, and 4899 Interstate 20, Willow Park.

Vibe Taco is run by former Los Vaqueros employees, owner Vicki Cisneros said.

“I thought about what a great brand they have,” she said in an email, saying Vibe Taco will “represent the student body a little better.”

Vibe Taco had been operating in Alvarado, serving nachos and specialty tacos such as a barbacoa-pineapple taco or a shrimp taco with sweet chili sauce. The menu also includes smoked chicken.

It’s an update from Los Vaqueros, a traditional Tex-Mex concept that has operated in three different locations near TCU since opening a south side location in 2009.

Los Vaqueros will host holiday parties before the restaurant changes to Vibe Taco in January.
